Just checked mine and the lights stay on but with that said....early H2's had hood lights and some had cabin filters neither of which I have. So, if you say yours use to shut off, I cannot say that they did not and there is nothing I can find in the service manual, the same with the cabin filter, no mention of either........

Maybe you have the hood light and it was set up to turn on and also turn off the headlights ?????? Just a guess.
